Top 50 Best Value

In 2018, Top 50 Best Value ranked the Bentley MSBA #11 in Big Data and the Bentley MSHFID #7 in Interaction Design/UX/HCI Graduate Degree 2018. In 2011, McKinsey Global Institute called Big Data “the Next Frontier.” That was then; now, Big Data is so much a part of life, it’s not frontier – it’s everyday. Professionals in Big Data may be called data scientists, data analysts, information engineers, or any one of a number of different titles. In the years since Value Colleges’ first UX degree ranking – one of the first to consider HCI as an emerging discipline – the field of human-computer interaction and interaction design has exploded. It’s much bigger than just user experience; interaction design is increasingly becoming a crucial career touching just about every aspect of 21st-century life.
